Again the pool requires painting. I was told about some liner you could install which would last for about 10 years. Does anyone have any info on this process? Also, does anyone have any info on a way to repaint a pool to make the paint last longer? I am trying to decide what is best?
Thanks

If your pool wasn’t built for a liner, you will have to have a custom liner made, and then they don’t last more than 5 to 7 years here due to the heat and UV rays. You’re best option is to tile with glass tiles. They are good for 25 years and also cut chemical usage by half.

It must be hard to paint a pool. Holding your breath under water for such a long time must require years of training.

I can't say enough good things about Walter and his Company. If you need a pool restored, fixed or built look them up at: dominicanpools.com

I read online somewhere that you can lightly acid wash the paint to get more life out of it, especially if it is chalking. I will be trying this in the next few months for a client of mine to see if it is true.

You are right Castle! I painted my poor by poring buckets of blue paint in the water, then, I drained it, and the whole pool was painted blue. Later as it was dry, I added it clear water. It is much easier that way.

Why paint it ??

Recoat it w/ plaster or cement and color the material if you want to...... white pools = blue water

I know fish breeders have the same problem.

"Brazilian "Lung Fish" can breed out of water!
Can't say how "Slippery When Wet" they are.
Doesn't actually matter, fish fertilize their eggs as an "Out-Of-Body-Experience".
Male fish disregard the "OLD TESTAMENT", and, "Spill Their SEED Upon The Ground!!!!
Me TOO!
